1 Claim, 1 Drawing Figure l DEER DRAGGING AND TAGGING DEVICE This invention relates to accessories for deer hunters and more particularly to a deer dragging and tagging device.

it is therefore the primary purpose of this invention to provide a device which will be self-contained and will be adaptable for use by deer hunters so as to aid in tagging and removing the dead deer from the forest or the like.

Another object of this invention is to provide a device of the type described which will include an elongated aluminum sleeve in which may be carried a penoil, a paper clip, a deer tag and a pin for holding the tag to the deer's ear.

Still another object of this invention is to provide a I device of the type described which will have the elon' gated aluminum tubes slideable within a pair of oppositely opposed and flared hard plastic sleeves with flexible end caps, the hard plastic sleeve serving as handle grip means for dragging the deer by means of a nylon cord attached to the elongated aluminum sleeve.

A further object of this invention is to provide a device of the type described which will have flexible plastic end caps which will be frictionally engaged to the ends of the knurled sleeve which forms handle grip means for the device.

Yet another object of this invention is to provide a device of the type described which may also contain matches, flares, a compass or other device desired by the hunter and when the device is not in use, the nylon cord may be wound upon the aluminum sleeve and contained within the flared ends of the handle grip members.

A further object of this invention is to provide a device of the type described which will include a rectangular member which will be carried upon the nylon cord, the rectangular member serving as encroachment means or chocker means against the deers neck so that the device will not slip therefrom when the user is dragging the deer from the forest.

Other objects of this invention are to provide a deer dragging and tagging device which is simple in design, inexpensive to manufacture, rugged in construction, easy to use and efficient in operation.

These and other objects will become readily evident upon a study of the following specification together with the accompanyingdrawing wherein:

The drawing is the sole view of the present invention.

According to this invention, a deer dragging and tagging device is shown to include an elongated aluminum sleeve 11 which is slideably carried within a bore of oppositely opposed and knurled hard plastic sleeves 12, the sleeves 12 forming handle grip means for device The flared ends 13 of sleeves 12 provide cupping means for a line which hereinafter will be described.

The paper, tag, pencil and other items are carried within the aluminum sleeve 11 of device 10 and a flexible plastic cap 14 is frictionally engaged to the opposite ends of sleeves l2 and may be removed for removing the contents from sleeve 11. A nylon cord 15 extends through openings 16 of sleeves l2 and is secured by knot means or the like (not shown) within the ends of sleeve 11, the cord 15 extending through the openings 17. The rectangular chocker member 18 is provided with a pair of spaced apart openings 19 through which the cord 15 is passed.

When cord 15 is not in use, it is wound upon the sleeve 11 and the two flared ends: 13 of sleeves 12 are pushed together thus rendering the cord stored for future use.

In use, the nylon cord 15 is passed over the deers head. The chocker member 18 serves to encroach and draw the rope tight against the deers neck and locks it into position. The hunter then places his hands upon the knurled sleeves 12 and will drag his deer from the forest.

What I now claim is:

1. A deer dragging and taggingdevice, comprising an elongated inner sleeve for the storing of a pencil, a paper clip, a deer' tag, and a pin for holding the tag to a deer's ear, frictionally carried cap members covering the ends of a pair of hard plastic outer sleeves and said inner sleeve, a pre-tested nylon cord with a rectangular member for locking said cord to a deer's neck for dragging it from the forest with said device, said inner sleeve being elongated to provide compartment means for said articles and provides rigidity for said outer sleeves which are slideable on said inner sleeve, said slideable outer sleeve having flared ends facing each other for forming compartment means around the exterior of said inner sleeve for enclosing said cord when it is not in use, said inner sleeve being of a length to allow fitting between said end caps when said outer sleeve flared ends are pushed together, said end cap members being frictionally removable from the ends of said knurled and flared sleeve so that articles can be removed from said inner sleeve and; said knurled sleeves provide handle grip means for putting tension upon said cord, said cord when encroaching the neck of the deer by means of said rectangular member carried upon said cord being carried within elongated openings through said knurled sleeve and being secured within openings near the ends of said inner sleeve.
